Is the check of zlib version essential?

I googled a fix that remove zlib version in gentoo.

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-tex/luatex/files/remove-zlib-version-check.patch?view=diff&r1=text&tr1=1.1&r2=text&tr2=1.1&diff_format=s


However, according to the zlib changelog(http://zlib.net/ChangeLog.txt),
the release with a  major version change, such as 1.2.7->1.2.8, was not
so often. So I am fine with downgrading zlib manually, considering the
low frequency.

I'm not comfortable removing the version test, since I don't know the reason for it. As you say, the low frequency of zlib updates makes this a minor issue.
